Easy Grammar Teacher's Manual.....It's HUGE!

[Mama2Many4]

How on earth am I supposed to get this behemoth onto the copier printer I have to copy the student pages? :confused::001_huh:

 

How did you all that use this copy the pages? I'd really like to avoid now buying the workbook separate.

I have the spine cut off the book, and the book drilled for three holes. Then I put the whole thing in a big ol' three-ring notebook. It's easier to take out single pages to photocopy.

 

And that's why I bought a separate student book. It's just easier to hand off the student book than to take the time to do the photocopying. :glare:

I just had my local office store cut off the binding. Then you can even copy the student pages on their own and then put back together your book if you like.

I was just going to ask the same question. This book is huge and I am pondering on whether or not to just write in it or purchase the student book. :glare: I did only pay $1.50 for it at Goodwill.

I spent the $21 for it through Christianbook.com, so I'd like to use it as they intended if possible. Guess I'll visit Staples today.

Thanks everyone. Any other tips, I'm listening.

Cut the spine off. As a used curriculum buyer, I happily buy texts like this which have already been made more usable. If your hesitation is resale-ability, don't let that stop you.

We are using a homemade "workbook window". I opened the sides of a regular page protector sheet, and my DD puts that over the page she is working on. She marks the sentences in dry erase marker, then she or I check the answers on the opposite page. (She keeps that page folded under while she works). I hope that made sense.

This sounds like a great idea! I should have thought of that before I caved and bought the workbook:lol: Although I think it was pretty cheap.. only like $10 or so..

I've never liked that the workbook pages are in the TM! I just bought workbooks, I couldn't see trying to have one use the TM with the answers right there, or trying to copy all of that. I'm not sure it would save any money either, with the cost of printer ink etc...!

In my TM, the pages were perforated, so I didn't even have to pay to cut the spine off, just tore the pages out along the perforations and plopped them in a 3-ring binder. Made it super-easy to copy student pages.

[Alison in KY]

I just bought the consumable student manual to go along with it.

I had the binding removed and put the pages in a binder exactly how they were in the book. I like that the lesson and worksheet are all together waiting for us and use a 2.5 gallon ziploc bag as a sturdy page protector. Wet erase markers work best for us. If you don't want to remove the binding you can slide the entire book into the ziploc bag but it is not as nice as just placing the single sheet in there.

 

HTH,

Compare copying costs. You may be able to find the workbooks for less than copying cost.

 

I also make sure I am Timberdoodle's email list for their ding sale and one thing they always seem to have slightly damaged versions of is Easy Grammar.
